I loaded my Ravenea rivularis (Majesty palm) in my pick-up and headed for Port Alberni. A friend there was willing to over winter it in his work shop. Here's a few pics along the way, and at his place.

Nice Barrie,beautiful area to say the least!
Funny how pics on the internet get around.I remember seeing that C.humilus pic before and definitely keeping it in mind as a potential project for some palm in the future,I hope 😉
That is a nice Trachy,quite a sturdy trunk
